Abstract:Tumor-related depression has the characteristics of high incidence and low treatment rate, which is a disadvantageous factor for the prognosis of tumor patients. Exploring its reasonable treatment plan can improve the quality of life and long-term prognosis of patients. The integral view of body, qi, and spirit, which is rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, is an important embodiment of Chinese medical image thinking and plays a programmatic guiding role in the treatment of diseases. Professor Zhang Peitong concludes that the core pathogenesis of tumor-related depression is liver qi stagnation,with zang-fu viscera deficiency, phlegm, blood stasis, and cancer toxin cementation, and the main location of the disease is the liver, which is closely related to the heart and spleen. He emphasizes distinctive pathological changes of tumor-related depression in the three dimensions of body, qi, and spirit, and believes that the loss of body and spirit is an important pathogenesis of tumor-related depression, and the disorder of qi is the intermediate link in the comorbidity of body and spirit diseases. Attacking the shape of the tumor is the cornerstone of the overall treatment plan. The filling and regulating of qi should be carried out throughout the treatment, and the purpose of regulating the function of the zang-fu viscera should be achieved in time. Therefore, the treatment principles of removing form as the basis, always regulating qi, and regulating the spirit in time are proposed to restore the human body to a peaceful state of shape health, qi regulation, and spirit peace, trying to provide a better idea for the comprehensive treatment of tumor-related depression.
